Crossfire vs single GPU

[jjfish64]

My current motherboard does not support Crossfire. Also I only have room in my case for up to a 10.5 inch graphics card. Should I buy a crossfire motherboard, or just always get the best single card I can fit?

is there anyway to make room for 11", like taking a dremel to part of the HDD cage and cutting it back a little

I don't think so.

and what would your first choices be for the gpu's,
tell us more, including your whole rig
and we'll help you out ^^

Yeah, consider that for the price of replacing the Motherboard, you could possibly replace the whole case.

All the details, including Power Supply.

The 5850 is only 9 inches. (just a thought)
